    I totally agree with the last comment. Gene6 seems to have all the bells and whistles, but I honestly can't stand the "Microsoft Management Console" like interface where everything is hidden in a "tree-view". It's price kind of high too.

    I've been using BPFTP Server for years and love how straight-forward and just-plain-useable it's UI and features are...

    There's a listing for it here on BetaNews.

    Gene6 has lots of nice features that I really like, such as how easy it is to setup virtual directories, and the security stuff is great. The functionality is a pretty big step up from their old Bulletproof.

    However, the one thing I HATE about Gene6 is its GUI. I think going with the tree structure to access EVERYTHING was a horrible idea. They lost so much great GUI functionality compared to Bulletproof, like tracking users, banning users, checking stats, etc. (Gene6 can still do this stuff, but it just feels so clumsy.)

    Very nice FTPd to start of with, easy to use and got some support for third party versatility.
    I started with this FTPd and i learned alot from it,tho this was some time ago and now i tried the shareware to check the current progress.

    But for the high price when there are other alternatives and some with larger area of usability and more advanced learning curve, i dont see the price worth it.
    Now now, dont come with arguments on that, there are far more better FTPd's that is GPL'ed.

    Summary:
    Nice FTPd for win32, easy to use.
    Lacking support for more advanced functions.
    All in all, a good alternative cept the price!

    By far the best FTP server software I've ever used. Support is top notch and it supports everything a major corporation (as well as the average home user looking to share files) would need. Great job G6, glad to see you didnt go under with your sale of your old product to BP. Keep up the top notch developing
